Ugh, it is a miserable rainy day here!  I hope it is not as miserable where you are at… I guess we got spoiled from the amazingly nice weather last weekend, but this is just too much ~ dreary dark clouds, drenching rain, total gloomfest :/

I am determined to make it a fun day though despite our weather… Right now I am cleaning and doing laundry because tonight we are having some friends over for dinner and game night… I decided to set up a “burrito bar” full of veggies, beans, and yummy toppings, I’ll have a recap tomorrow, for sure!

I also stopped by Big Bear Natural Foods store and picked up a few new bars, nuts, and masa powder… I really couldn’t wait to try one of the bars that I picked, especially this “Go Raw Live Pumpkin Bar” up so I dug right in… At first glance, I was totally attracted to the packaging and the sight of all of those yummy nuts and seeds!

When I opened up the bar, it looked too pretty too eat, doesn’t it?  That didn’t really stop me so I dived, er bit, right in… It was definitely as crunchy as it looked, but it was also really chewy, slightly dry, but I kind of expected that since it was a raw bar… all in all, it was quite yummy and a wonderful change from my normal “bars”… have you guys tried this brand before?

I’m always in search of new bars and snacks, especially those that fit in with a Clean Eating philosophy.  Do you have any brands or specific bars that you would recommend?
